Correct Answer: 27.325%
Solution : Series of discounts = 15%, 10%, and 5% Let the marked price = INR 100 Selling price = (100 – 15)% of (100 – 10)% of (100 – 5)% of 100 = 85% of 90% of 95% of 100 = 0.85 × 0.9 × 0.95 × 100 = 72.675 Discount = $\frac{\text{marked price – selling price}}{\text{marked price}}×100$ = $\frac{100-72.675}{100}×100$ = 27.325% Hence, the correct answer is 27.325%.
